[edit] Plot

"People from the city of Tokyo in the year 3000 AD and one man have met by chance. For the sake of marking a new passage of time…!"

In the 30th century, time travel becomes illegal after a time paradox crisis. The Time Protection Department is established to watch for and stop time crimes. Four cadets of the TPD are tricked by Don Dornero and his gang into letting them time-travel to the 20th century to commit various crimes. To protect history, the four cadets pursue them. There they encounter a severe problem: the TimeRanger program requires five members for the first operation. They thus force a present-day martial artist, Tatsuya Asami, to join them, allowing them to become the TimeRangers. Afterwards Tatsuya rents a building for them to live in and they start a small odd jobs business called Tomorrow Research to financially support themselves.

Over time, the four cadets begin to realize that their presence would inevitably change the future in the form of the City Guardians, a security force under the employment of the Asami Corporation to protect the city from the Londers. The City Guardians gain a tenuous relationship with the TimeRangers, especially when Tatsuya's childhood friend Naoto becomes TimeFire and later the City Guardian's Captain.

In the series finale, the Timerangers go back to their regular lives. A year later Tatsuya is jogging when he sees five people who resemble the other Timerangers (including Naoto), but realises it isn't them.

[edit] Specials

  • Mirai Sentai Timeranger Super Video: All the Strongest Hero Secrets
  • Mirai Sentai Timeranger vs. GoGo-V
    • The date of the episode is October 25, 2000, so it is dated between Timeranger episodes 35 and 36

[edit] Trivia

  • The robot, G-Zord, is the first Sentai creation to feature a Power Rangers-oriented name: Zord.
  • First Super Sentai series with the Pink Ranger being the leader. And the second time a female is leader of a team, the first being Ninjawhite from Ninja Sentai Kakurangers.
  • It is the first Sentai not to kill monsters. Instead, they are simply frozen and brought back to jail.
  • This is also one of the few Sentai series to acknowledge the existence outside of cross-overs that past teams came before. This series had a special retrospective to fill the gap in episodes and also to celebrate 25 years.
  • The home video release (VHS) of Digimon: The Movie contains a commercial of Power Rangers: Time Force. The particular commercial showed quite a bit of Timeranger footage (likely an error), including a shot of Yuuri, Domon, Ayase and Sion from the first Timeranger episode.
  • It is the first Super Sentai series to use the V-shaped saga logo.
